Today I’m undertaking official training and moderation for AQA English Language Paper 2 and I’m genuinely excited to be completing it! Keeping up to date with examiner expectations and mark scheme standards is so important because it helps us deliver the very best support, strategies and feedback for all of our tuttees next year. Understanding exactly what examiners are looking for means we can continue helping students improve faster, write smarter answers and gain confidence going into their exams. Alongside this, other tutors in our team are also completing marking and moderation for: ✅ English Language Paper 1 ✅ English Literature papers Everything we do behind the scenes is focused on making sure our students receive the highest quality tuition possible. We’re already preparing to make next year even stronger 🚀

Good luck to all of my students sitting their English Language Paper 1 exam today! 🍀📚 You’ve put in the work, practised the questions, and built the skills. Now it’s time to trust yourselves and give it your best effort. Remember: ✅ Read the questions carefully ✅ Manage your time ✅ Use evidence from the text ✅ Stay calm and keep going even if a question feels difficult Most importantly, don’t panic if the extract seems strange at first - everyone in the country is seeing it for the first time too! I’m proud of all the effort you’ve put in leading up to today. Go in confident and show the examiner what you can do. Drop a 💙 below once you’re finished!
